Became interested in dog training in 2010 with the arrival of Emmi, who started training a little late at 6 months and so did the adults no training course. She went on to do obedience training and has obtained her KUSA CGC Bronze certificate and her WODAC Silver and gold. Her interest in puppy training started with the arrival of Bonnie in 2013 and has helped with the puppy classes since then. Bonnie has also gone on to do obedience training and has obtained her KUSA CGC Bronze to WODAC silver. Both dogs take part in ‘agility’ as a fun activity. Started studying for the Advanced Diploma in Canine Behaviour management with Compass in the UK .
